So far, my only complaint is that the solid fabric back tends to induce a little extra sweat down here in FL.
Experience so far is limited to Florida swamp hiking.
I would definitely be interested in a version that had a breathable backer like inside good plate carriers and on the wearer side of packs, though I have to assume that they tried that and found it to not be as good as I theorize.

Santa Claus came through! Just got done wearing the original kit bag in coyote. Took it out on a one hour hike all bundled up for the 2 above evening here in NWI. My only complaint is my sw m57 will only fit in the middle compartment. But it was super comfortable and the weight is nicely distributed across my back, shoulders, and chest.
